Disney’s Animal Kingdom Adding Another Bird-Themed Show this Summer

There’s a new live-animal show headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom this summer, starring macaws.

The show – Winged Encounters – The Kingdom Takes Flight – will feature six types of birds and will be performed on Discovery Island.

‘Winged Encounters’ will showcase macaws in flight and will also feature bird experts who will share conservation stories with the audience.

This is the second bird-themed show at the Animal Kingdom. The other show is called Wonders of Flight.

This summer also marks the return of Festival of the Lion King in the all-new Harambe Theater. The Lion King – Concert in the Wild debuts this summer as part of the park’s Harambe Nights hard-ticket event that also includes the Harambe Nights Street Party.

The construction for the park’s Avatar-themed land continues to progress, and the Rivers of Light nighttime spectacular will debut sometime before 2017 on Discovery Island.
